Authentic Strat sounds thanks to Fender Designed Alnico Single Coils
For the characterful and versatile sound of the Stratocaster, three Fender Designed Alnico Single Coils are used in the neck, middle and bridge positions of the Squier 40th Anniversary Stratocaster Vintage Edition MN Satin Seafoam Green. With their Alnico V magnets, they follow the traditional construction of classic Vintage pickups. Matching playability with an unmistakable Fender feel, on the other hand, is conjured up by the neck, which is made of maple with a slim C-profile and 21-fret fretting in a narrow-tall format. Completing the Squier 40th Anniversary Stratocaster Vintage Edition is a synchronized 6-saddle Vintage-Style vibrato, six vintage-style tuners and its sleek Satin Seafoam Green body finish.
Guitar looks very good, satin finish on the body is sleek and neck tint is very authentic. Compared to Classic Vibe series, it is better and have much less 'plastic' feel. Factory setup is Ok and playable. Guitar sounds very good, more 'woody' like on expensive thin finished Strats. Electronic works ok, aluminium pick guard is excellent shield and pickup noise is low. Downsides... there is a few finish flaws from assembly, tremolo is decked and springs are tighten to the end. You need to lose springs to unlock the bridge/tremolo. Otherwise, this Squier Strat deserve recommendation.
